ASTONISHING SUCCESS.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump-
ton severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief, Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, as least to try one bot
tie, at 10000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where it
failed was reported. Such medi-
cine as the German Syrup cannot be
too widely known. Ask your drug
gist about it. Sample bottles to try,
sold at 10 cents. Regular size, IS
cents. Sold by all Druggists an d
Dealers, in the United States and

JAMAICA.

While the workmen of Wardwells
steam mill were taking their dinner,
sitting around the boiler, last Friday
noon, they were very much frightened
by the sudden swapping of bolt in
the head of the engine, the head of

room at once. Owing to the light
weight of steam on at that time, no
serious injury followed, all the help
escaping through various avenues
from the scalding steam and no one
being severely hurt.
